Bikes & Trikes For Summer Strolls

Nothing screams summer more than an evening stroll after dinner. If we’re really out for a power walk, we pop the kiddos in our double BOB, but if we’re just looping the cul-de-sac our almost 3-year-old pulls her bike out of its’ garage parking spot and off we go! There are so many options when it comes to the best 2, 3 and 4 wheeled bikes and I asked other parents to chime in on their favorites over on my Facebook page, That Mama Gretchen. Here’s the scoop on everyone’s input …

Featured on Shark Tank, the KaZAM is one of the up and coming balance bikes out there.

Gretchen hails from the beautiful Pacific Northwest along with her husband and two young children. Before transitioning to life as a stay at home mom, Gretchen worked in sales and marketing while earning her Masters in Management and Organizational Leadership. Now her days are focused on managing meal plans and nap times while organizing her sewing stash and children's toy bins. My oh my, how life changes in the blink of an eye! Gretchen writes frequently about natural parenting, becoming more environmentally conscience, her affinity for thrifted treasures, and hopes of making it out of yoga pants each day on her blog That Mama Gretchen (www.thatmamagretchen.com).

We have a Glide Bike. I chose it because of the foot rest. (Kazam also has this) I can not get the Glide bike to stay tight enough with the handle bars facing forward. They twist so the bike can’t be steared/ridden well. The co. didn’t offer help in the matter. I might recommend a Kazam bike or even the new Radio Flyer bike (No foot rest, but classically cute and inexpensive.)
